^16 (A)Give glory to the Lord your God,
Before He brings ^(B)darkness
And before your ^(C)feet stumble
On the dusky mountains,
And while you are hoping for light
He makes it into ^(D)deep darkness,
And turns it into gloom.

² A day of ^(A)darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a ^(B)great and mighty people;
There has ^(C)never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations.
